It is not illegal to make a copy of an original that you yourself own, to use in a different format. To enter a copy into the stream of commerce is illegal. Whether giving a copy to your in-laws for a single viewing constitutes placing it into the stream of commerce, is a grey area.Now as to whether its possible without special hardware, I guess is my question.
